MIR. Brevard, an auditor for the E
T., Va. u Ga, r. r. Co., was in town OF
Tuesday last. He came to ascertain wha.
losses had been sustained by the variou,
parties owning freight which had beer
destroyed by the burning of the depot
The freight and express books were al
saved from the fire and there will be nc
difficulty in ascertaining the losses, ant
we are informed that the railway com
pany will at an early day adjust all LA
bilities.

The quiet of Sunday evening las
was broken by the insane yells of two
young hoodlums, who had evidently par
taken of more than their quota of "that
which makes glad" They rode through
the main street of town at the top OF
their horses speed and hallooed until the
hills resounded. We understand thai
both live within a few miles of town, and
they should be indicted and made to fee
that the Sabbath must be respected by
them as well as others.
The editor of this paper, accompa.
MED by Mr.. j. ]. Hunt, paid a visit tc
Greeneville on Sunday last, and speaking
strictly with regard to truth must say
that that town is on a pretty substantial
boom. Not only are several buildings
being erected for business enterprises bul
the citizens of the place have done a great
deal in the way of improvements prop
erty already erected, We must have
seen at least a score of freshly painted
houses, with nicely laid out lawns and
good fences. If the corporation authori,
ties would take measures to clean up the
streets, Greeneville would be as pretty q
town as one could find in a days travel.
1t would not be unreasonable, after
the successful fight made by our citizens
to save the Washington House on Mon
dag morning last, if they were to ask OF
the insurance company in which that
building is insured to contribute towards
the procuring of some one of the MANY
modern facilities for fighting fire. Had
the Washington House caught fire on the
aforementioned occasion, it is not to be
questioned but that some four or five
other buildings would also have been de.
stroyed and the insurance companies
represented here would have been mulcted
to the tune Of at least SIS, 900. Under
the circumstances we believe that they
would willingly contribute literally to-
wards providing safeguards for their
investments at this place.
1t should not be necessary, after the
occurrence of last Monday morning, for
us to present to our readers any reasons
for the need of a well equipped, well.or.
ganized fire company at this place. The
fewer the facilities a town possesses for
the protection of property from fire,
the more need there is for organization
tending to such a protection. Jonesboro
is sadly at a loss for natural facilities to
fight the fire-fend with, and while her
citizens may each and every one be will
ing to lendsa helping hand when called
upon, d%isorganized effort can accomplish
but little and that little very slowly. Let
us have a fire company by all means. We
have enough young men to successfully
combat any fire that can possibly take
place in u midst, if they be but prop
erly organized.
We paid a second visit to the Graded
School on Friday afternoon last. This
being the closing session of the week is
generally devoted Cat least a portion of i)
to a literary and musical entertainment,
the various items thereof being furnish.
ed by the scholars of the upper grades.
Last Friday afternoon was no exception
It the general rule, several essays, a read.
ing, a vocal Duet and singing by the
members of two of the grades making up
the programme. Everything passed off
very nicely and we would commend to
the parents and friends of the scholars
the practice of more frequently visiting
the school. Go on Friday afternoon, if
no other time. If you can not go on
Friday, go some other time. A cordial
reception is given to all, and we can as
sure you that you will come away pleas
ed and benefited.
Good News.
